Confession, Post #1

Let us begin the year with my guilty confession.

I have been thinking seriously -- amidst clearing and organizing -- that perhaps I should do a clothes-fast for six months, other than replacement of crucial daily goods as needed (socks, for instance, and trainers). Seriously.

Until yesterday, when the Boden catalogue came and there was a Shirt Dress which needs to live in my closet: long, swingy, vaguely Union-Jack patterned, 70s-inspired. It was/is everything.

I've haven't bought it yet, but you know... you know.

Otherwise, I am still obsessing about who will play Jerry and Emma in the upcoming production of Betrayal. Last night I suddenly thought of Laurence Fox (ah, Hathaway), and then I thought of his wife Billie Piper as Emma, and got v.v. excited -- until I googled. I had somehow completely missed that they had had a v. acrimonious split. Also, then I read his Twitter and eye-rolled for almost ten minutes, so I withdraw the suggestion, universe.

But I'll probably buy the stupid shirt dress.

Cheers for your mid-week!
